Guest Post: ‘A Spoiler-free Introduction to The String Diaries Sequel’ by Stephen Lloyd Jones, author of The String Diaries

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The String Diaries by Stephen Lloyd Jones. And to entice you I have a Spoiler-free introduction to The String Diaries Sequel. Promise!
